I tried to put more RAM in that is DDR333, and later realized it won't boot with my other gig of PC3200, so i took it out. So, my PC booted, and then i just pulled the plug because my mintor and other stuff was connected and i couldn't shut it off any other way. Then, i try to plug it back in and put it in my desk, but no cigar. Should i clear the CMOS? I don't think it is a PSU issue. Not sure what else to do...Really aggravating, and i need to get on that pc soon.

Need help ASAP, thanks in advance.

Clear the CMOS, pull the plug out the wall, pull the CMOS battery out, then pop it back in.

That should do the trick.

Ok...I switched the RAM, as in i just flip flopped them from their positions. Then I cleared the CMOS, pulled the power cord out, shorted pins 2 and 3 together, took the battery out then back in. Put the CMOS pins 1 and 2 back together, and then pushed the power button, and everything went on for a couple seconds. Man, i shouldn't even have messed with the old RAM, all was working fine.

I will try again in about an hour, got to go eat.
